Well I don't think it's so cut and dry. If you have a VRR compatible display. The obvious answer would be series x. To get rid of stuttering but it cool just pick and choose advantages to highlight.

I'm around 30 hours into the game and only started the game once. The quick resume feature alone negates your point. I've seen the main menu only once and can easily take a break or play a different game and resume exactly where I left off. 7-10 doesn't beat that kinda freedom. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Outside of that, they are the same haha well vrr too.

Exactly! I have it on Xbox series x and PC with a 3080ti FTW3 Ultra and I play the Xbox version because VRR makes it feel like it's running perfectly smooth 99% of the time. It's even better if you can use BFI (black frame insertion).

I also recommend setting the Xbox to 60 fps instead of 120 when playing this game. It makes it feel more responsive and just look better. The lower limit of VRR on a LG Cx and beyond is 20fps so you will never go out of range.

Yes ps5 runs slightly faster in some areas but it also doesn't have VRR. The PC version has VRR but it's so broken that it's better to play on console right now.

If you don't have a VRR display and you're playing on a "next gen" console then you're missing out on what makes them next gen...or at least on the Xbox side with VRR, Dolby Atmos & Dolby Vision in games...

omfg dolby vision is stunning. I first saw it in Ori and the will of the whisps and... It just blew me away how much better then standard HDR is.

In what way?

There are games that load faster on series x. Essentially they can load data at the same speed. The ps5 is slightly and i mean slightly quicker but not enough to make any real difference.

This game loads faster on ps5 because it was developed for ps5 and ported. So that's the most optimized version.

That being said if you have a VRR display then the only choice right now is series x. It feels smooth, it looks smooth and yes it takes an extra 7 seconds to load but...come on. 7 seconds is nothing. I remember waiting 2 min to play a round of mortal Kombat 3 on ps1..

The direct storage API b(velocity architecture) makes up for the SSD speed difference in the consoles.

Hopefully direct storage starts getting used on Win11. It would mean games loading instantly since PC is significantly faster than any console.

It could also mean being able to suspend games like on xbox. Being able to suspend 2-3 series x games and another 2-3 360 or original Xbox games is... fantastic and it would be amazing to have the ability to do that on PC without using a VM.
